Good morning everyone
I have a pt (ER) that came in for disruption of c-sect wound on 10/22, pt had baby on 8/4/11 and this is second time this has happened to her 1st time 9/1/11 so my question is would you code 99832 disrupt ext wound or can I still use the 67414 disrut c-sect even though it isn't in the postpartum period, because of the c-sect, my thought was no at 1st but then I started 2nd guessing myself..thanks alice
